MySQL 5 - Can't mysqldump using system("") in php. Works in console.

Hi, I'm having a strange problem. I can backup my db from console using "mysqldump -uuser -ppassword db > /home/name/db/db.sql".

But if I try to run a .php script with system command it does nothing.



Any ideas?

any errors? maybe set error_reporting to E_ALL then run the script. see if anything shows up. you could also try other functions that do pretty much the same thing like exec() or shell_exec().

I have error reporting set to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE. I've tried both exec and shell_exec both returned empty page.

Edit: I've tried echoing $BuP and it returns correct values on everything and correct path for file write.

Could it be something with permissions if I run this script from web browser?

Edit 2: I've added a cronjob for the php file. It seems to be working through cron.
